Seth Klein to talk about climate change, profits, and green jobs

VERNON - The hot topics of equality, jobs, and climate justice will be the focus of a special presentation with Seth Klein in Vernon next week.

Klein’s talk, Climate Justice: How BC can be carbon-zero with more equality and thousands of good jobs, will share key findings and policy solutions produced by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternative’s Climate Justice Project.

Klein is the BC director for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA). Much of his research deals primarily with welfare policy, poverty, inequality and economic security.

His talk is free and open to the public, and is co-sponsored by UBC Okanagan, the Sustainable Environment Network Society, the Canadian Federation of University Women and the North Okanagan Shuswap Green Party.

OPINION I hate to bring it up but it feels like fall outside... Maybe not completely, but that crisp, cool air is slowly creeping into the Valley, reminding us that summer is coming to a close and fall is fast on its heels.
